Is adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) the best or only option?

Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): Nope. There are other amphetamine stimulants such as Vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) non-amphetamines such as Ritalin, & non-stimulants such as Strattera.

No one best: There is no one best medication. Among the most common are stimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and amphetamines (dexroamphetamine-dexedrine, Adderall and Vyvanse). Other medications that can be helpful include Strattera, Provigil, Nuvigil, Wellbutrin (bupropion) and Imipramine.
